horseatingweeds Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I would like to keep the file path in a file input after validation and if the user uses and edit button to go back to the form. This is easy enough with text inputs with an echo $_POST['']; but how is this done with a file input. It returns nothing from post.

Jessica Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I don't believe you can fill in a file field at all. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/67378-return-the-file-path-from-a-file-input/#findComment-338133 Share on other sites More sharing options...
horseatingweeds Posted August 31, 2007 Author Share Posted August 31, 2007 Isn't there some way using the $_FILES array or something? There must be some way to return the file path or temp name or whatever....

Jessica Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 What? I thought you were trying to fill in the field in the form - so if they "edit" the form it will be pre-filled in. AFAIK the value="" field does not work on file inputs. So you can't keep the filename in the field. You could print it to the screen, but not in the field.
